	Hong Kong - Profile
		Hong Kong has been further integrating its economy with China because China's growing openness to the world economy has increased competitive pressure on Hong Kong's service industries, and Hong Kong's re-export business from China is a major driver of growth.
		GDP growth averaged a strong 5% in 1989-1997, but Hong Kong suffered two recessions in the past 6 years because of the Asian financial crisis in 1998 and the global downturn of 2001-2002.
		The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak also battered Hong Kong's economy, but a boom in tourism from the mainland because of China's easing of travel restrictions, a return of consumer confidence, and a solid rise in exports resulted in the resumption of strong growth in late 2003.

	Blogging... Walk The Talk: Prostitution in Hong Kong, Circa 1925
		While I have demurred thus far in providing a history of prostitution in Hong Kong (as I've been requested several times on this blog), since I was reading about the way the industry was organized 80 years ago I thought I'd share it with you.
		I am neither condoning nor condemning the practice; rather it is interesting when you read this to think about how the system has evolved into its present state today, in its circumvention of colonial regulations finally banning brothels in the late 1930s (with a consequent skyrocketing of the VD rate amongst the soldiers!).
		The Hong Kong government was quite open in describing its system of regulating prostitution and was obviously unconcerned or ignorant of the fact that the Secretary of State had ordered an almost identical system to be abolished 30 years earlier.
